@e.vivio shares these amazing photos from her May study abroad trip to Argentina! ππ¦π·
βMy favorite part was IguazΓΊ Falls, one of the 7 wonders of the world! Having to book a flight, hostel and get flight tickets was an experience itself.
The end result of being able to go into the park and even riding a boat under the waterfall was thrilling ππ½β

Meet Archana Jayasekar, a recent #PoolePack graduate and our commencement speaker. πΊπΎππ€
Check out this Q&A between Archana and @vikasanand777. β¬οΈ
Q: Could you tell us a little bit about your background and a little about yourself?
A: Iβm originally from Charlotte, NC. Growing up, I had a fear of public speaking. I joined Speech and Debate; I worked really hard at it and over time, I ended up being a Varsity Speech and Debate captain in highschool. Originally, I was intent on doing pre-law, but I knew I wanted to do something that combined my love of public speaking, writing papers, and math, and business was the best outlet. My major is business-administration with a concentration in finance, a minor in statistics. I was also in the Business Analytics Honors Program.
Q: Tell me a little bit about your experience speaking at graduation for Poole College.
A: This was a speech I got to deliver to such a broad group of people with different interests and backgrounds. I got to deliver my message of what I thought was important when going through life.
Q: You talked about your sister, whom you lost just before you came, that was very touching. Iβm sure sheβs a big inspiration to you.
A: She really is. Because her loss was fairly recent, my sophomore year of college, I had the mindset of βThere is no way this will ever be okayβ. Iβm able to reflect on how poor my mindset was then. Being able to deliver that message helped me accept that even though sheβs gone, sheβll never really be gone in my heart.
Q: What were some of your favorite parts of your journey through Poole College?
A: I got to work with Tedd Szeto after I got accepted to Poole Council. I always thought Student Council was cool and I liked that I could do it specifically for business. I got to help out with it during Covid years, which was great.
